MANILA, Philippines — THE Philippines is bound to lose outright eight potential gold medals in next year's 33rd Southeast Asian Games unless host Thailand reconsiders weightlifting, wushu, jiu-jitsu and karate which were scrapped from its 40-sport program.


'We already appealed to the Thai hosts the inclusion of weightlifting, wushu, jiu-jitsu and karate,' said Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham 'Bambol' Tolentino who led a team in the SEA Games Federation meeting in Bangkok over the weekend.
